Orthopaedics: One of the most common reasons for shoulder pain in
people over 40 is a tear of the rotator cuff. In young patients, this
may occur from a traumatic injury or overuse as in the case of
professional athletes. The rotator cuff is made up of the shoulder
muscles and tendons that allow a person to reach overhead and perform
activities like swimming or swinging a golf club. Peter Barnett, MD is
one of only a few physicians in Connecticut trained to perform an
arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This innovative minimally invasive
technique reduces pain and offers faster recovery than traditional
surgery. Dr. Barnett will perform the procedure during a live webcast
on October 14, 2004, at 6:00 pm EDT from Hartford Hospital. View Webcast
